    Abstract: A first object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition capable of forming a reflective layer having excellent diffuse reflectivity. A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a reflective layer having excellent diffuse reflectivity and a reflective layer having excellent diffuse reflectivity. A third object of the present invention is to provide a cured product and an optically anisotropic body, each of which is formed of the liquid crystal composition.
    The present invention relates to a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal compound; a chiral agent A whose helical twisting power is reduced upon light irradiation; and a chiral agent B which induces a helix in a direction opposite to that of the chiral agent A, in which the liquid crystal compound is cholesterically aligned in the direction of the helix induced by the chiral agent B in a case where the liquid crystal compound is aligned into a cholesteric liquid crystalline phase state.
